An Awesome Volunteer!

Last week, Jeff Fantin received the SRP Presidents’ Volunteer Spirit Award. Employees of SRP build stronger communities though hands-on, personal efforts of giving and this award recognizes the wonderful investment of time and talent Jeff has given the Child Crisis Center over the past 10+ years. He is an incredible asset and has made a dramatic difference in how we do the background work to provide necessary services to our community. Jeff has slowly grown our network as our technology needs continue to grow with every new program and service we provide. He has unwavering dedication and is the consistent support that enables us to maintain quality care to our kids and families. Without Jeff, we could never have afforded to have the technology we use today. We can do so much more with less staff, allowing our dollars to be better used for programs.

Jeff has put in countless hours using his experience, expertise and free time to set up our smooth-running system - and all of it has been as a volunteer. He has brought in other volunteers from SRP to share their expertise and experience when needed.

Not only is Jeff dedicated to being our IT support, but he works as an advocate and fundraiser for us as well. Recently, he organized the first ever Gaming Day fundraiser benefiting the Child Crisis Center and it was a great success! He believes in our mission to help children and prevent child abuse. For that reason, he often works late at night doing the background things that no one sees but that keeps our network functioning so smoothly. We are very proud that he has been selected to receive this award because he is so deserving of recognition for his countless efforts.
